Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – June 27, 2017 TL: I’m for having our August meeting in Kona – is that OK with you? OK. And Willie-Joe and I have been gone to Kona on several occasions already for meetings over there. But I’m also for a get-together. I think we should have our August meeting in Kona and I’ll find a date for that – we’ll do that – but a get-together is something I think we ought to do and I think in Kona would be a good place to do that. TN: Clarification. This is Teresa. Are you talking about a get-together before the meeting and meet each other kind of thing and then have our meeting? TL: On two separate days. th TN: Oh, two separate days not... For example, we get together on the 14 and we th meet on the 15 on those type of days back-to-back? TL: Well, that wasn’t exactly – I hadn’t really put it into context like that but no, I was thinking like probably sometime next month getting together and then in August we have our Kona meeting. TN: I’m supporting whatever decision the rest of the members decide which is easier for them to make time for whatever dates they set up. I’m in support of that. TL: OK. TN: Tom, I’m sorry, I mean, since nobody spoke – what about just meeting in any of the parks and recreation gym area – Honokaa, Paauilo, Kailua Gym – as our venue. I mean, can we go through the parks and recreation? TL: I’m open to anywhere actually. A beach park – the Old Airport – I don’t care – I just would like – I think it’s important - I agree with Ike 100% on this – our commission members are working together and we ought to have an understanding of who each of us are and I think it’s important and, but these are things that we can work out – I am going to send out emails to all of you probably tomorrow or the next day. Let’s actually work on this and please get back to me and we’ll get this information over to Donna and I’d like to move OK. It is 8:30p and I think that we should close this meeting. We have future agenda items – we have a game management plan – let’s deal with that after you’ve had a chance to look at this game management plan – improving communications with hunters – we’re working with Donna right now to get each of the commissioners’ names on the county website underneath the Mayor – contact information – it’s been suggested that the contact information be housed with Donna or the Kona Office so if people want to know or get in contact with an individual commissioner in a particular district they can leave word with the mayor’s office in Kona and that district commissioner is 25
